Building a Stronger Community
Copyright 2008 - Elves & More of Northeast Ohio
Contact: info@elvesandmoreneo.org
2008 Schedule:
Please note that the 2008 Schedule is still not finalized. Please keep checking the website as we will be posting all volunteer opportunities, days and times here when known. In the meantime, please find the following list of volunteer opportunites that will be available below.
What to Wear:
Please dress appropriately. For your own safety please refrain from wearing open-toe or high-heeled shoes. Tennis / walking shoes or boots are best. The bicycles are new from the factory and very clean but some parts have a thin coating of oil to prevent rusting so you might want to wear clothing that you don’t mind getting a little dirty.
Location: Bike Build, Gift Wrapping & Bike Load up:
The location for the bike build will unfortunately not be in the same area that we had last year. We will update this page as this information is finalized.
Description of Volunteers:
Bike Assembler
Assembles bicycles using a team-building approach or one at a time, depending on abilities and desires. Please bring your own tools as those provided by us might be limited. We will provide a suggested tools list to bring in the very near future. Please check back here often. Team-building groups may progress from one stage of assembly to the next such that within a couple of hours even a novice can assemble typical bicycles expertly.
Adequate numbers of skilled team leaders and quality control personnel will be involved to ensure that finished bicycles are safe to ride when delivered to children.
Suggested Tool List for Bikes:
13mm open end wrench
Crescent Wrench (or an additional 13mm wrench)
14mm open end wrench
15mm open end wrench
5mm hex key
6mm hex key
Scissors or Snips (To cut Zip-Ties)
Phillips Screwdriver
Suggested Tool List for Push-Abouts:
(These will be the first item being built on Thursday and once completed, we will start the bicycles).
Plyers
Crescent Wrench
Flat-Head Screwdriver
Phillips Screwdriver
Hammer
Treasure Box Packers/Wrappers (Limited)
Packers and wrappers will gather gifts (all gifts will already be purchased) designated for each category of children (age and gender specific groupings), then box and wrap them with wrapping paper.
Load-Up:
We will update this section when the Load-up day and time is known.
Delivery to Kids:
We will update this section when the Delivery day and time are known.
Where We'll Deliver Bikes:
We must keep the locations of the specific neighborhoods we will visit a closely guarded secret until the day we arrive. We do that in order to avoid having far more kids "waiting" in a neighborhood than we can serve. If secrecy is not maintained, the telephones would start ringing and kids would appear from other neighborhoods in such large numbers they could not be served.
